Ruth was a dear friend to my mother-in-law Beatrice Schisler. Ruth at 100 and my mother-in-law at 98 kept up a letter/card writing friendship for years. Bea couldn't wait to hear from Ruth and it gave Mom something to look forward to. Ruth's picture sits on her desk to this day. We have chosen not to tell Mom of Ruth's passing, it would hurt her too deeply. I too struck up a pen pal relationship with Ruth and she shared many of her recipes with me, which I have made and will...

Ruth will forever be in my heart as well as many others she was such a blessing in my life. She was my grandmother Evelyn Schoeni Hoopes’s friend is how I got to know her many years ago what a Godly Christian she was. I know we will all be with her again one day as we have accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. Prayers and Condolences. I will not be able to attend for I live in FL but I am so thankful I talked with her just a last week.
